Five years ago, we made a visit to Disney World with my two older children, who at the time were 5 and 8. While we were there I couldn’t help but notice how many people were there with such young children. And by young, I mean 3 and younger. I looked at my husband and […]

The first time I was faced with a screaming, red faced baby who was obviously in pain, but who had no words to express where the pain was located, was a defining moment in my life. Holding that little fellow in my arms and not being able to fix it was terrifying. As a new […]

It was funny but as I was looking back at 2017 there was something that I realized I could plan ahead for that I had never done before, it was planning for the big DEALS/SALES following a holiday or an event. Let me explain. Following Halloween really the only thing I ever thought about purchasing […]

2018 has arrived! I love when the new year arrives. Perhaps it is cliche but I think a new year does bring a fresh slate. To make the new year the best one yet, my husband and I sit down at the beginning of it and we do a full year of planning. This […]

Grandma Camp 2017 is officially in the books. It was EPIC, OUTSTANDING, AWESOME, SPONTANEOUS, and MYSTERIOUS, as described by its participants. After reading those adjectives you may be visualizing a camp week full of scheduled events, educational activities, and meaningful programs. But that is not Grandma Camp at all. Grandma Camp was epic, outstanding, awesome, […]

Date night, sweet date night. I can picture it now. Getting all fancy and spruced up for a night out with my husband, making sure the kids have their favorite foods of hot dogs or frozen pizza for dinner with the grandparents while we’ll be devouring a juicy filet mignon with crusted blue cheese on […]
